You might not want to read this batch of Slice answers while eating.

Gerald Ray remembers his friend’s beered-up date, a nurse at Sacred Heart, vomiting at Natatorium Park while riding The Octopus.

Ritzville’s Kathy Becker told of an unforgettable regurgitation at a spaghetti eating contest.

CeCee Kane was a Spokane third grader when she informed her teacher she was sick and needed to leave the room. The teacher told her to sit down and be quiet. Big mistake.

Karen Ponsness told about the time her son threw up into a woman’s purse at church. “We subsequently joined another parish,” she wrote.

Joanne Babin reported that her son, Mark, has been a “projectile vomitor” at both the Seattle Aquarium and Disneyland.

Kim Heckman recalled the time her 4-year-old daughter cleared out a Spokane McDonald’s with an astonishing display of heaving.

Barbara Karnitz remembers when her son, in a top bunk, gave it up all over a sleep-over guest and an electric train set down on the floor.

Penny Schwyn’s family learned the hard way that you can’t open power windows if the car is shut off.

Jean Adams was in Hawaii when a baby soaked her with a remarkable demonstration of power-barfing.

Rosemary Daniels of Metaline Falls remembers the time her son lost his lunch with gusto in a Montana cafe. Karen Bettis was holding her daughter inside her coat when the child went off like a geyser.

And C. Lee Kuder Cash knew her now ex-husband was going to throw up when he told her to pull over and, before jumping out of the car, handed her his false teeth.

Susan L. Clark found this note on her car: “You just about got a $10 ticket. I was feeling up on a down day. It made me feel better. Hope it does the same for you. Fifty cents…who says $ can’t buy happiness.”

Agree or disagree: “Poets, the one segment of the population that always knows how to make a bad situation worse.” - Joe Queenan, in The Wall Street Journal
